Despite this shoot
falling on the only Saturday I would’ve had off this semester, I am happy to
say that I had a lot of fun working with the Bolex camera and with other
groups.
For our long take my
group decided to shoot me as the villain, throwing a water balloon at an
innocent pedestrian then upon realizing the stranger was backed by an odd posse
ready to seek revenge, I started to (in a less than average pace) run away as
the group (running in the infamous Charlie Chaplin walking style) chased me and
pelted me with water balloons resulting in my surrender. Choosing what to do
was actually quite difficult as my group tried bouncing around ideas that had
somewhat developed story lines and locations, while also trying to think of an
interesting live sensory component to bring to class. Ultimately we ended up
going in a different direction and we came to the conclusion that we wanted our
film to be unrestricted and comedic. It was cool to use more people from the
class in our film and I am interested to see how things turn out in the editing
process.
On top of shooting
our own film, most of class got to participate in one of the other groups’ films,
which was really awesome. I honestly have no idea what their shoot was about, all
I know is that there was a couple ‘vigorously’ making out and that we all got
to put on fake blood and die in the fountain. All in all I’d say the day was a
success and I would gladly spend another weekend doing another project like
this.
